Simrad B60 20 Deg 50/200KHZ Black 9-Pin Thru Hull with 10m Cable Product Description
Upgrade your boating experience with the Simrad B60 thru-hull transducer, a reliable choice for anglers and recreational boaters seeking precise depth readings and water temperature data. Designed specifically for hulls with moderate deadrise angles, this dual-frequency sensor delivers strong performance without compromising your vessel's hydrodynamics.
Why Choose the Simrad B60 for Your Boat?
This compact transducer stands out for its minimal hull protrusion—just 5 mm outside the hull—ensuring it won't drag in the water or affect speed and fuel efficiency. Ideal for center-console boats or those frequently trailered, it mounts securely through fiberglass or wood hulls, providing consistent bottom tracking even in choppy conditions.
The bronze housing offers excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, while the urethane acoustic window maintains signal clarity over time. Whether you're navigating shallow bays or probing deeper waters, the B60's ceramic element captures sharp echo returns for dependable depth accuracy.
Superior Dual-Frequency Performance
- 50 kHz Mode: Wide 45° beamwidth excels in shallow to moderate depths, reaching up to 353 meters (1,200 feet) for broad bottom coverage and structure detection.
- 200 kHz Mode: Narrow 12° beam provides detailed imaging down to 206 meters (700 feet), perfect for spotting fish arches and wrecks with precision.
- 600 W power output ensures reliable signals in various water conditions, from murky rivers to clear offshore waters.
- Integrated temperature sensor keeps you informed on water conditions, aiding in baitfish location and fishing strategy.
Switch seamlessly between frequencies to match your fishing style—wide for search mode, narrow for target identification—making it a versatile tool for serious offshore trips or casual outings.
Installation Insights for Optimal Results
Fitting the B60 requires a 60 mm (2-3/8 inch) hole in hulls with 16° to 24° deadrise. The 20° tilted element automatically compensates for hull angle, aligning the beam perpendicular to the water surface for maximum efficiency. Its low-profile design means less turbulence, preserving your boat's performance whether planing or at displacement speeds.
For best results, position it forward of the propeller and away from strakes or through-hulls that could interfere with the signal. The included 10-meter cable with 9-pin connector simplifies wiring to compatible Simrad displays, keeping your setup clean and professional.

Real-World Benefits for Boaters
Boaters rave about how the B60 enhances safety by providing real-time depth info to avoid shallows, while its temperature readings help predict fish behavior based on thermoclines. Unlike flush-mount options, this thru-hull design offers better signal strength without the need for fairing blocks on most setups, saving time and hassle during installation.
